Instead of the expected 10-minute instructional video, there was the recent clip of Bieber singing a racist song. It appears to have been removed.

Even stranger...

Go to the google cache page...

It appears to have had another "viral video" displayed on May 30th (I didn't screencap it, but it's the date of the cache.)

 

[Dr.Guru of Peru]

You really think bieber matured into a better person since then?......

Because all signs point to that being false

Being a douche doesn't make you a racist. When was the last time he made a racist comment? I'm more interested in those "signs".

[Servbot24]

Why you guys gotta gang up on Seanspeed though

most of his posts seemed ill-advised to post but not insanely unreasonable or anything...

should probs keep that to myself tho :<

 

[Gucci Messiah]

I can't believe there are people in here saying 'lol he's on 14 who cares!?' That's an idiotic defense, the kid was not only using a racial slur but singing a song about murdering black people while giggling into the camera while his team of yes men joined in on the 'joke.' He was old enough to know the difference between right and wrong, this is unacceptable.

Pathetic. Too bad this won't matter in the long run, his fans will defend anything. Send his ass back to Canada.

 

[Kreed]

Sorry, I still have to disagree. You are getting pretty specific now for the Beiber case, but your previous post was more general. I think the average person would rather get called a name (even if it's the worst name possible) by some stupid teenager than have that same teenager break in to their home, trash it, and rob them when they are out. Both suck, but I'm just saying that getting called a name is nowhere even close to having a crime committed against you.

I decided to get more specific in my previous post because I realized I was too general with the crimes and that some poster would take advantage and go to a large extreme with my examples, like a "teenager robbing someone's house and trashing" it vs stealing an iphone from a store.

Also besides belittling the slur, "getting called a name" isn't what Justin Bieber did in either video. It also gives me the impression that you're not going to "get" this even if I explain further because you don't see anything serious about what he did to begin with, even if he said it today vs 6 years ago. Not to mention you didn't acknowledge my comments about discriminatory attitudes affecting other areas of life beyond the "name calling" action. So let's save each other some time and just agree to disagree.

 

[BobbyRobby]

Eminem did this same thing, nothing new.

what's the story on this? I cannot find the song anywhere.

 

[Zee-Row]

what's the story on this? I cannot find the song anywhere.

It was from his first album and he didn't even say the whole word. Just said "My nig Proof".

 

[BobbyRobby]

It was from his first album and he didn't even say the whole word. Just said "My nig Proof".

alright, thanks. doesn't seem fair to compare that to this bieber song.

 

[Zee-Row]

alright, thanks. doesn't seem fair to compare that to this bieber song.

His first First album Infinite BTW not the Slim Shady LP.

 

[Zee-Row]

But yeah for years The Source had it out for Eminem and had a pathetic personal crusade to turn the Hip Hop community against him for saying that. I think he said "Black Bitch" also which they tried to use against him but Eminem was referring to an old ex-girlfriend that he had that happened to be black.

 

[Imm0rt4l]

It was from his first album and he didn't even say the whole word. Just said "My nig Proof".

Pretty sure he's talking about "foolish pride" an unreleased song where he says he doesn't fuck with 'nigger bitches'. iirc the story was just that he had a thing for this girl and she played him to the left.

 

[JJDinomite]

Canadians can't be racist

But if the ex-girlfriend was white would he have called her a "white bitch"?

 

[Particle Physicist]

Fucked up as this is, this is pretty standard behavior for 14 year old white kids and it should be treated as such rather than some glaring exception in a an otherwise non-racist society. We treat every one of these moments like an exception to the rule when that isn't the reality of it.

Casual racism is standard. Time to confront that.

Where did you grow up? It's not standard where I grew up.

I understand now!

 

[Wazzy]

Seanspeed jumps into literally every thread about race to say some variation of this:

This post. RIP Seanspeed.

Seriously. Thank you for exposing his bullshit.

 

[TheMan]

daaamn @ the seanspeed crucifixion. he always seemed like a likeable, reasonable poster, but the pattern unearthed by jado is not so good. however, i think that after having this shortcoming pointed out to him (and then getting beat up relentlessly by the hangers-on who smelled blood), he'll mend his ways.

 

[DedValve]

There where quite a few comments that really made me not like seanspeed so this isn't news to me.

As for Bieber there really is no excuse at that age.

 

[Jangocube]

jangocube

your boy needs back up

All I will say about him is this: I used to know him, he was a good dude, he was very intelligent, not racist in any way that I knew of(yeah yeah, the "we had black friends" line, but it's true, our neighborhood was very diverse and his group and my group would hang out with everyone regardless of race), and he was a pretty open minded guy from the discussions that I had with him.

I haven't seen him in over a decade, so I don't know if he's changed, but I seriously doubt he is a racist or a bigot. But some people here think I'm a racist as well even though I kinda would know if I was or not, so you don't have to take my word for it if you don't want to.

They're never coming back here.

Nah, I ain't like that.

 

[Htown]

Please don't ban me its just a question Im legitimately curius about. Im Norwegian and not trying to be insensitive.

Is saying someone is a negro as bad as the other N word or bad at all or an accepted word?

so I saw this get kinda lost among the Passion of the Seanspeed in the last couple pages so let me address this a little bit, since you seem like you're sincere.

Keep in mind that I'm just one black dude from the United States, and I'm going to be speaking in generalities here. Other people may have other opinions.

Generally, calling someone a negro is not considered acceptable, though it's not as bad as the N word. I feel like people don't really use the term "negro" very much in any context any more, racist or not. It has become sort of... archaic, I guess. I generally only ever see the term used in a serious manner when referring to events back in the civil rights movement or earlier, back when the term was in general use by both blacks and whites.

"Negro" was actually an accepted term among black people at one time, though we're talking about a long time ago. 45-50 years, maybe, at the latest. This is why you'll still see the word in names of old organizations like the United Negro College Fund.

Basically, "negro" is not a word you want to use nowadays, both because it's archaic and can sometimes be considered offensive (but not nearly to the level of the N word), though you might on occasion just get a weird "when is he from, 1956?" look, instead of the "this motherfucker said WHAT?" look you'd usually get from the N word. Basically it's out of style.

Wikipedia's summary of the word's usage actually isn't that bad.

 

[Strike]

I'm not even surprised. He's just lucky that it didn't come out when he made it.

Really? I'm glad he has such a good, upstanding, level-headed friend to defend him.



Disagreeing about the Civil War.

Disagreeing with the Civil War doesn't mean you are racist. What the hell kind of logic is that?

Slavery isn't the only thing the Civil War was about...........................

White manager following and harassing black teens around a store:

Racism baiting storyline? Youuuuuuuu betcha

Awwww, a fan. And this thread is about black people? I could have sworn it was about white manager doing his job and being labeled a racist. But hey, however you wanna spin it.

On Obama "not really being black:"
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=111507613&postcount=47

People often overlook this fact because it doesn't fit the agenda.

But to your topic, sure, why not?

Obama speaks up about Trayvon:

This story keeps people from focusing on the NSA stuff. He really needs this story to keep going.

Trayvon case wasn't about race, Zimmerman isn't racist:

Pretty much. And that the Stand Your Ground law is a law that is ripe for committing heinous acts under. The law needs to change, Zimmerman needs to get a work at home job, stop acting like a cop, and disappear for a while, and people need to stop treating this case as a race case. His race isn't why he was found not guilty. Not sure why people aren't understanding this...

More Trayvon shit:

It's pretty sad that just because someone disagrees with a mainstream opinion that they get banned because of it. Oh well, jr mods will jr.

I don't see why people are still bringing up the hoodie thing like that doesn't have some value of criminal element. Anything that masks your appearance will make you more suspicious. Not saying it made him more suspicious in this case, or even that the kid was in the wrong in anyway, but hoodies help criminals all the time.

I guess it's the easy, "iconic" thing to point, if there were one. Skittles loses it's luster after a point.

Hige calls out Uncle Rupee for repetitive posts defending Zimmerman's violent actions, Jango jumps at the chance of criticizing Hige, but not Rupee, of course. Common behavior of the racially biased.

WTF is this shit?

Thinly veiled post about "black teens are violent" by drawing a connection between two completely unrelated crimes. Because blacks are thugs.

Pretty sick shit. This story and the pitcher that got shot recently really make ya think about teen violence these days...

Are Latinos Whites Now? More Zimmerman stuff.

Depends on the narrative being pushed.

Absofuckinglutely

Reaction to whites kids vandalizing a car vs. black kids.

Don't try to make sense of this video sir. You are supposed to watch and be outraged!

Implying blacks get special/preferential treatment on GAF:

Um, this is Neogaf we are talking about here right? You apparently don't visit race related threads that much.

Defends "ignore racism" as a good solution to racism.

Because fighting against stupid people is usually a waste of time. They usually say stupid things for attention as well, so just ignore the person until they realize no one is paying attention to their stupidity and they'll learn. Takes time though, which is the problem for most impatient Americans.

I once made an argument in favor of ignoring racists, and in turn was called a racist myself by many fine posters here on Neogaf, many posting in this thread. Then I decided to take my own advice to heart, and well, this place is much easier to tolerate.

Defending racists:

So, 2 wrongs make a right? The kids make racist remarks like douchebags. So to counter that, lets expose them and make an example out of them like a public service announcement? So we should potentially ruin the lives of a couple of teenagers over a couple tweets they made as some kind of warning to future kids?

Lordy, that's fucking cruel. I would have hate to make a mistake in your household growing up.

The mistake they made is repeating what they hear in their household. It's the same with all racists of all colors. You can't punish a person if that's all they've ever known.

Defending his "ignore racism" stance:

Oh man, the amount of butthurt from some people is sad. They even spread it to other threads! It's always the same group of people too. Sad that a person can't have a different point of view on these forums without being ridiculed, or attempted to be at least.

You can have good discussions with people that don't see the world in the same light as you do! Till then, close-minded people gonna be close-minded.

Agreeing with video of extremely ignorant and disgusting black guy calling blacks "monkeys," "niggras," "savages," "buck-dancing shoe-shining negroes," "slaves," "uncle toms," "kiss white ass," "eating fried chicken," "only care when whites kill blacks, but not black on black violence," and general shitting on blacks and black communities. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sL2f0PoqME

Some harsh truth

"What do you feel about the word Nigga?"

If you find a word offensive when someone else uses the word, then you shouldn't use it yourself.

Dave Chappelle is lashing out about the people who heckled him in Hartford, CT last week ... calling the crowd a bunch of "young, white alcoholics," wanted to pull reverse Kramer.

I imagine this wouldn't go so well if a white comic said black, he needs to grow some balls though.

Yeah, I miss the old Dave =(

Colorblindness and ignoring racism is the answer.

Until you change yourself, others won't. If you see race, they will to. So no, I am correct.

It's beyond my mental capacity to envision any other world then supreme ruler of the grand race.

And of course I do. But I don't group myself with either and pretend I'm better because of it.

Not that it doesn't occur, because shit happens all the time because people look different/are different/smell different/act different, but when you already have a preconceived notion that if something bad happens, it will be happen because of X, then well, it will in their minds.

Downplaying Duck Dynasty racist remarks:

Today I learned that Americans pay close attention to "Duck Dynasty's Phil".

Well, they need to get pissed off at someone today!

Someone makes a joke that if you disagree that Serena Williams is the GOAT then you're racist, Jango takes the bait.

GAF loves to use this as the fallback for many arguments. It's always the same people as well.

On black kids attacking people with the Knockout game:

Hate crimes all over the place. Oh wait

In conclusion:

Big fan of your posts in threads involving race. Keep up the good work.

Tbh there were studies were toddlers of all races were instintively attracted more by fair skinned portraits compared to dark skinned ones. I'll see if i find it.


EDIT: can't find it right now, but apparently this study (that was conducted only on white babies) say that there's a same-race bias at 3months old, but there were only caucasian kids used so it's a bit pointless. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2566511/
